Photo Hunt - Greasy

The theme for this week's photo hunt is greasy. None of my photos feature anything greasy in the standard sense so I have chosen to go for a slang use of the word - disreputable, sordid, dirty, etc.

If one is prudish then one could describe what these two lily beetles are up to is greasy!

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton close up in sapphic embrace they may not be but these two had no objection to being photographed while doing the wild thing! Perhaps dogging is not quite the correct term here... Insecting? I suppose it would service a specialist animal porn niche...

Lily beetles are a huge pest. Their larvae will make mincmeat of lillies and fritilarias. Perhaps it was cruel but I squashed them shortly afterwards.

Photo Hunt - Party

The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is party. The problem is that it's ben ages since I went to one. The last one was for my mum and dad's golden wedding anniversary. Their parish priest made it extra special by presenting him with a benemerenti medal. Sadly those photos are stuck on a broken external HDD. Ah well so it's going to have to be something insect related instead. Our garden in June and July is a magnet for insects. It sometimes feels like it's a party and and most of the phylum arthropoda is invited!

Bumble bee

The ever present crab spider

Dragonfly

And finally a couple of lily beetles in the process of creating more lily beetles

Irridescent beetle - Wordless Wednesday

This week's Wordless Wednesday entry is Odemera nobilis, also called the false oil beetle. I think it's quite beautiful.

These two happy exhibitionists knowing each other in the biblical sense on on of our Snakeshead fritillaries are Scarlet lily beetles (Lilioceris lilii). Sadly they are major pests and will do a lot of damage to our lilies and fritillaries if left unchecked. We left them to do their doings one year and we lost most of our lilies. Their fun didn't last long - Once I took the photos, I squashed them. They are just the only garden pest we will actively seek and destroy.
